Need to see a bigger pic of the autograph but from first small glance I can’t rule it out.

What's on the other side?
With the undivided back the postcard is most likely from before 1907 when the divided backs were allowed.

It seems like a strange thing to have him sign, but possible.

Good point, I will ask my friend if he can get a picture of the front of the postcard.

Far from an expert, but why does it look like two different pens were used for "Sincerely" and "Babe Ruth"?

Also, the curvature of the crossing of the "t" seems atypical.

I’d love to help you on this. I’ve studied Ruth extensively. My gut says real; and just an extremely rushed example. But then again, the “u” is very atypical. As is the crossing of the “t”. Gun to my head: real. But too many weird things that would prevent me from purchasing it.

I think it's the same pen. There was just a greater ink flow when the signer first started writing. The "Since" is bolder, while the "rely" matches the "Babe Ruth" below it. Pretty typical for fountain pen of that era.
